Well, this is the official planned production chart for the FAB. Right now I just have Seinar Fleet System's land-based second line fighter up, however the list will grow as I work on it.

You might want to stick with the Brewster Buffalo for now. It has better performance and much heavier armament than either of your first two designs.

The Buffalo is a naval fighter and I don't have any use for those right now. I also need a fairly modern second-line fighter to supplement the I-100. Also, what you're seeing is the evolution of one design.

Only the USN used the Buffalo as a naval fighter. Land based Finnish Buffalos actually did very well.

Also don't you have the EMB-36 (Severesky P-35) in production?

That was probably Swampy's intent, but I'm going with something that's more like the originally planned Renard R-36.
